recipe for vegan empanadas:

now, when i make plantain or sweet potato empanadas, i just bake the sweet potato or plantains for bit, then mash, add flour[s], egg replacer [use warm water to mix with the egg replacer powder], and a little earth balance. roll out, and stuff with peppers, cheese, et c.

MMMM I love Empanadas, thank you for sharing! I had never thought of using Plantains like this. My mouth is watering.

What brand of egg replacer do you use? Any tips? When I have tried them, it was disastrous. On a cooking show someone used date puree?
